Amendments to the Liquor Law,

The committee appointed by the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars of the State and
instructed to propose an amendment to the
law to prevent the sale of cider for tipping
purposes, and such other amendments as are
advisable have been in session here the past
two days perfecting bill which they hope
Will meet the requirements of the case. The
committee consists of three members of the
bar; G. A. Farwell of Pittsfeld, J. IL. Gree
ly OF Augusta, and S. l.. Carleton of Port
land. With the Grand Secretary George f.
Bracket of Belfast, who was instructed by
the Grand Lodge to present the bill to the
Legislature, they have been wrestling with
mass of proposed amendments from sew
eral sources, from which they have elimina-
ted bill which will be given to the public
soon.
The main features of the proposed bill
Will be a new restriction on the sale of cider,
fine and Imprisonment for the first offence,
and large number of minor amendments,
such as the officers who have had experience
in enforcing the prohibitory law have
found necessary.
The extreme fines and penalties proposed
by Gen, Dow have not been adopted though
many of his suggestions have been given due
prominence, SO it is not improbable he may
present bill of his own to the Legislature.
The committee represent the Order of Good
Templars numbering over 10000 in the State
and only such amendments, the committee
say have been recommended as would seem
desirable and practicable to aid in enforcing
the will of the people as expressed in their
vote on constitutional prohibition.

There is no truer form of charity thar
that which seeks out those in need of EN-
ployment and gives them the work so mucl
better than aims A list of those in sucE
need may be found at room No. IS, City
Building. The Office hours are from II a. m
to p. m. This list does not include capable
house work girls, but women to wash, iron
clean, do plain sewing, and one who will
help In cooking or any department of house
work.
That these women are in need Of work
does not necessarily imply inefficiency. Such
work is at this season somewhat scarce and
the number who need it is much increased.

The only baking powder in the world
which leaves nutritive qualities in the bread,
biscuits, gems, rolls, etc, is made by Prof.
Horsford's process This valuable quality,
peculiar only to this process, is due to the
presence of the nutritious and strength
giving phosphates contained in the product.
The white and fine flour in ordinary use
does not contain the proportion of phos-
pilates found in wheat, because they have
been withdrawn by the miller in the process
of boiling. Flour without phosphates is
white, and with phosphates yellowish. If,
now, Prof Horsford's Bread Preparation is
added to the white -four, it preserves still
this desirable hue, and at the same time adds
the very phosphates to the flour that were
taken from it. Without the phosphates there
can be no life, and their absence in our food
is fruitful source of ill-health and retarded
development. Experiments on animals have
proved that those fed on flour deprived of
its phosphates died, while those fed on flour
made from the entire grain lived. This fact
alone is incontrovertible evidence as to the
value of the phosphates, and any competent
physician will confirm this statement, as
also that Horsford's Bread Preparation is
the most healthful and most wholesome
bread-raising that can be used.
Prof. Horsford's Bread Preparation is for
sale by all dealers, and every package is
warranted.
